The purpose of this research was to investigate how the self-system mediates the relationship between physical health and mental health in elderly women. Three theoretical perspectives were examined: social integration (self in relationship to the social structure), social comparisons (self in relationship to others), and self-discrepancies (internal self-evaluations). Community-dwelling elderly women (N = 243) completed self-report instruments measuring the various self-assessments, physical health, and 3 mental health outcomes: psychological distress, well-being, and developmental outcomes. Social integration and social comparisons mediated the effects of physical health on all 3 outcomes.
本研究的目的是调查自我系统如何在老年女性的身体健康和心理健康之间起中介作用。研究考察了三种理论视角：社会融合（自我与社会结构的关系）、社会比较（自我与他人的关系）和自我差异（内部自我评价）。居住在社区的老年女性（N = 243）完成了自我报告工具，测量各种自我评估、身体健康和三种心理健康结果：心理困扰、幸福感和发展结果。社会融合和社会比较在身体健康对所有三种结果的影响中起中介作用。
